You can see if the application will work in Protected mode and try to link it for Windows.... (It might work directly if you use no BIOS / DOS functions (Dos is int 21h, BIOS are various othre interrupts...)) (nasm might be easier to run for the actual assembling, but is not MASM compatible... It might be a good idea to use it for new applications though) (You'll also find Win32 version of MASM (version 10 is out according to Wikipedia) bundled with new Visual C++ version (possibly the express version as well) and they should still be able to assemble DOS applications) Gert
